Supplies Needed with Faux Fur Fabric

While working with faux fur fabric, you'll want to take into account that it's thick and may require some special materials. You'll need:

• Scissors: You'll want extra-sharp scissors, and faux fur is thick and can be tricky to cut through.
• Sewing Needle: For faux fur, you'll need a study sewing needle made for handling thicker materials. We recommend a 100/18 or 100/16 universal needle.
• Thread: You'll also need a thick thread when working with faux fur. We recommend polyester or nylon thread.
• Pins, clips, and pin cushion: Use large pins or clips to keep your fabric in place while sewing. A pin cushion provides a safe place to store your pins.
